Jenvey Injector Blanks

[johniban 59 1 Cars]

So i started the car up this morning just to check the fan ect still works after having everything apart from the respray,

 

Got a big back fire from the exhaust and it cut out..

 

Then i noticed this.....

 

 

One of the injector bungs are missing,,,

i sealed them in with sealer a year or so ago, ive not taken the manifold off to see if its fallen in, but do you think i would be lucky and it fired it out rather than sucking it in?

Interference fit? If so most likely shot out with the backfire.

Bet you shat yourself! Lol

they are not a tight fit, i didnt have to tap them in, yeah i did a bit!

Ejected with a backfire. Glue in with Loctite 620.

Thanks for the reply Peter,

I need to get a new one as i don't know where it went unfortunately

annoyingly the part on jenvey is only £5 but their postage for such a small item is nearly £10!!

Probably in the garage somewhere!

 

shank of a suitable bolt cut down to length will suffice and be much cheaper.

Thats what im thinking , 14mm shaft of some sort

Ring them up iv found them to post out little bits like that for free as its not worth there time to process the paper work. They were great when I lost a spring off my linkage.

Lucky you didn't have your head in the engine bay!

[petert 586]

Down between starter motor and block?

[johniban 59 1 Cars]

Found it, luckily, sat by the back door of all places.

I'd need rather long arms to turn the key with my head under the bonnet

That's the beauty of the Internet, you never know how long someone's arms are!
